Last week, I went over how fasting triggers the process of autophagy to clean up damaged and dangerous cells in order to prevent diseases like cancer and dementia, improve your overall health and well-being, and actually slow the process of aging and extend your lifespan. This week I’ll go over multiple ways to trigger autophagy and things you can do to increase it on a daily basis, even without fasting.

Autophagy is your body’s natural process to recycle old, damaged cells and prevent age-related diseases like cancer, arthritis, and dementia. It’s a bit complex, but it’s so important to your health and longevity. That’s why we’re going to tackle it in two parts. Part one this week will explain what autophagy is, why it’s so beneficial, why it’s no longer working for most people, and why you’re not hearing about this scientifically-backed way to improve your health and extend your lifespan.
